Ullubiy Amirzhanov, a 23-year-old Dagestani prospect training under Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov's system, secured his seventh consecutive victory with a unique submission finish. Competing at UAE Warriors, Amirzhanov defeated Bruno Rocha (6-1) with a reverse arm triangle choke after securing a standing grip and taking the fight to the ground. Now 7-0 in his MMA career, all seven victories have come by stoppage, with six via submission including guillotines, d'arce choke, ninja choke, and rear-naked choke. The bantamweight fighter comes from a striking background as the son of Thai boxing and kickboxing coach Anvarbek Amirzhanov.
Ullubiy Amirzhanov kept his perfect record intact at UAE Warriors, submitting Bruno Rocha with a reverse arm triangle choke to extend his winning streak to seven straight finishes.
The 23-year-old Dagestani bantamweight remains undefeated at 7-0 in his professional MMA career, with all seven wins coming by stoppage. Six of those victories have been earned via submission, a collection that includes a guillotine, a d'arce choke, a ninja choke, and a rear-naked choke. The reverse arm triangle against Rocha adds another rare technique to an already varied finishing repertoire. Amirzhanov transitions to the ground with composure beyond his years, initiating the finish in this bout from a standing clinch before dragging the fight to the mat and securing the choke.
His background is rooted in striking. His father, Anvarbek Amirzhanov, is a Thai boxing and kickboxing coach, yet Ullubiy has made his name as a submission specialist. He trains within the system built by the late Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, the renowned Dagestani coach whose methods produced some of the sport's most technically complete grapplers.
Rocha entered the contest at 6-1, making him a credible test for a prospect still building his resume on the regional circuit.
Why it matters
- A 7-0 record with seven stoppages signals finishing ability that scouts at larger promotions will note.
- All six submission wins demonstrate genuine grappling diversity rather than reliance on a single technique.
- Competing under Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov's training system carries significant pedigree and will draw continued attention to Amirzhanov's development.
- At just 23 years old, Amirzhanov has room to grow before stepping up to more established competition.
